[PATCH v2] x86/entry/32: Fix setup of CS high bits

From: Jan Kiszka
Date: Mon Oct 15 2018 - 10:10:35 EST


Even if we are not on an entry stack, we have to initialize the CS high
bits because we are unconditionally evaluating them
PARANOID_EXIT_TO_KERNEL_MODE. Failing to do so broke the boot on Galileo
Gen2 and IOT2000 boards.

Fixes: b92a165df17e ("x86/entry/32: Handle Entry from Kernel-Mode on Entry-Stack")

Changes in v2:
- adjust comment according to Andy's feedback
- added JÃrg's ack/review (assuming the comment change does not affect it)
